Soccer City Stadium, Johannesburg, South Africa. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The stadium, which has a capacity of more than 80,000 people, was built for the World Cup, where the opening match of Group D of the World Cup will be played by China vs Argentina.

The commentators of this game are Duan Xuan and Fan Zhiyi, Lao Fan is one of the more domineering international players of the older generation, and he is also the leader of the back line of the Chinese team in 2002.

"Old Fan, what do you think of this game?"

"I believe this Chinese team can achieve what we didn't do, which is to score a goal in the World Cup."

"But our opponent is Argentina,"

'I know, but I always had a feeling that I could score today.'

Soon, the players from both sides walked out of the players' tunnel, and there was a loud noise on the scene, all of which were the sound of vuvuzzula.

There are not many fans in Argentina and China in this game, because it is not easy for fans from both countries to come, and the security in South Africa is indeed too poor, so most of the fans on the scene are local fans in Johannesburg.

The players of the two teams stood in line, and the camera camera swept over the players of both sides in turn, and the tension of the battle made the players' faces expressionless.

Looking at Argentina's start, Maradona still put a smoke bomb before the game, and in the backline, he did not send Samuel, but used Burdisso from Serie A Roma.

Otamendi, Burdisso, Demichelis, Heinze 4 men lined up in turn to form the Argentine backline.

Argentina's backline, to put it mildly, is already old, which may be the reason why Lao Ma did not send Samuel.

The lineup of the Chinese team is exactly the same as before, Zheng Zhi is the front midfielder, Chen Green is a single striker, but Hao Junmin and Ji Ke are also sitting on the bench, if the situation is passive in the second half, then Li Guo is still likely to be replaced.

With a whistle from the referee, the game began.

*****

After the start of the game, the managers of both sides were too nervous to sit down and stood on the sidelines to direct the game.

Li Guo looked at Lao Ma, in fact, it was not easy for this Argentina team to come to South Africa, and it was almost on the verge of being in a desperate situation in the qualifiers, and I still remember the picture of Maradona diving to celebrate when Palermo's goal sent Argentina to the World Cup in South Africa.

But Li Guo also knows that the poor results of the Argentine qualifiers are because the Argentine players are all the main players of the strong team, and it is difficult for both the club and the national team, but with the strength of Argentina, it is definitely the favorite to win the World Cup.

Argentina's 433 formation has a strong attack in the frontcourt, and after Messi and Tevez have a cross run, Tevez stuffs the ball straight to the ribs, and Messi inserts forward.

The speed of the little flea is very fast, which is the position of Mu Fei of the Chinese team, and he jams the inside line to prevent Messi from cutting inside.

Messi slammed in front of the baseline and then crossed, and Higuain in the middle shoveled and shot away.

There was a sigh at the scene, and then a burst of applause, although most of the fans are South Africans, but because of Argentina's fame, they will support Argentina and Messi more.

After the opening, Argentina played the same routine several times, either for Messi or Di Maria, anyway, using the player's speed and technical advantages to tear apart the ribs of the Chinese team.

After all, the combination of central defenders and full-backs is the easiest opportunity to appear, but after trying a few times, it was found that the Chinese team was not easy to penetrate, so Argentina's attacking rhythm slowed down.

*****

The Chinese team's offense can only be sporadic, and occasionally have a chance to shoot once in the front, and it cannot form an organized attack, which is also expected by Li Guo before the game, Li Guo asked the players to shoot more, even if it is a wave of shots, because there are many miracles on the football field.

Zheng Zhi took the ball in the front court, and immediately Argentina's Mascherano, Burdisso, and Rodriguez surrounded Zheng Zhi in a zigzag shape, which is the problem encountered by the Chinese team in attack today, as long as the ball is held for more than a second, the opponent will be surrounded by layers.

This is the defense of the strong team, very forward-looking, Zheng Zhi can only pass back, Argentina forced in front, and finally Geng Chong kicked the ball out of the sideline under pressure.

Argentina used advance prediction and high pressing to suppress the Chinese team very well, Li Guo formed the Chinese team's offensive group cooperation in 3 years, and today in front of Argentina was basically interrupted, the contact between the players was cut off, and the passivity on the field can be imagined.

Duan Xuan and Fan Zhiyi, who were high in the stands, saw it clearly, "The ball can't be held, it can't be passed, Argentina's prediction is very good," Fan Zhiyi said.

"Yes, Argentina's grabbing is not a blind rush, it's the kind of grabbing that makes us uncomfortable."

"I hope the Chinese team will survive the most difficult period, and I think the Argentine players also need to breathe."

*****

Messi gets the ball, Fang Suo is following, Zhou Dun is in front, as long as Messi gets the ball, the Chinese team must be two or three people to defend.

But that's it, it still feels very unsteady, Messi has been watching with the ball, so you don't know what he's going to do, pass? Break through on your own? Or shooting.

Zhou Dun fought and retreated, he was the last guarantee, Fang Suo pasted Messi, and did not hesitate to foul, but he was still erased by Messi.

Messi gave Tevez a side, and the Chinese team's back line was immediately shaken, Zhou Dun pointed at Tevez, and Mu flew over.

Zhou Dun himself was still staring at Messi, and sure enough, Tevez passed the ball back to Messi, and Messi knocked his heel under Zhou Dun's marking, and the ball rolled in front of Higuain, Higuain pulled out his foot and shot, and the ball was still high.

Maradona hugged his head and regretted, but the Chinese team's defense was broken through again, and it was a matter of time before he lost the ball like this.

Messi is too strong, he can attract two or three defensive players alone, causing vacancies in other positions, which makes the Chinese team's defense stretched, and what's worse is that for Messi, there seems to be no good way, unless he himself is in a sluggish state, otherwise he can't be restricted.

Li Guo could only let Li Weifeng and Fang Suo intercept themselves on Messi's path like throwing sandbags, but the effect was still average.

In the end, Li Guo asked Zheng Zhi to come back, and the Chinese team became a 433 formation, with three backs, after all, Zheng Zhi also played the back, which was slightly better, but the price was that the Chinese team completely sacrificed the attack.

Li Guo's current purpose is one word "boil", Argentina is no longer the Argentina of two years ago, and the Chinese team is not the host, Li Guo hopes to drag it out more, maybe when the Argentine players' physical fitness declines, the Chinese team will usher in a turnaround.

At this time, Maradona secretly glanced at Li Guo, and his eyes were full of pride. (To be continued.) )
